                    <p id="first">Ace is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. Our goal is to create a web based code editor that matches and extends the features, usability and performance of existing native editors such as TextMate, Vim or Eclipse. It can be easily embedded in any web page and JavaScript application. Ace is developed as the primary editor for <a href="http://www.cloud9ide.com">Cloud9 IDE</a> and the successor of the Mozilla Skywriter (Bespin) Project.</p>

                    <h2>History</h2> 
                    <div class="divider"></div> 
                    <p>Previously known as “Bespin” or lately “Skywriter” it’s now known as Ace (Ajax.org Cloud9 Editor)! Bespin and Ace started as two independent projects both aiming to build a no compromise code editor component for the web. Bespin started as part of Mozilla Labs and was based on the &lt;canvas> tag, while Ace is the Editor component of the <a href="http://cloud9ide.com">Cloud9 IDE</a> and is using the DOM for rendering. After the release of Ace at <a href="http://jsconf.eu/2010/speaker/kick_ass_code_editing_and_end.html">JSConf.eu 2010</a> in Berlin the Skywriter team decided to merge Ace with a simplified version of Skywriter's plugin system  and some of Skywriter's  extensibility points. All these changes have been merged back to Ace now, which supersedes Skywriter. Both <a href="http://ajax.org">Ajax.org</a> and <a href="http://mozilla.org">Mozilla</a> are actively developing and maintaining Ace.</p>
